There will perhaps be a lively discus sion of the matter, though the opposition to allow ing the building to be used for the purposes named is confined to limited number of the voters.

Sulphur In the Food

1t has been recommended that
sulphur be fed to fowls in the food
as necessary ingredient of eggs.
This is recommendation that
should not be always followed
Sulphur exists in nearly all the
materials fed to fowls, and, like
lime, it can always be provided in
the food, and in a better condition
than when given as pure sulphur,
as that in the grain is usually
chemically combined with some
other substance. For instance,
sulphur exists in plaster. in cop,
peras, in magnesia, in some forms
of soda, and other substance that
are classed as sulphate or sulphi-
DIES, and these compounds are also
ingredients in nearly all foods.
But sulphur may be given in the
pure state, however, only it should
be done cautiously, and not al
lowed to the fowls freely. 1t pur-
ifies the blood, arrests disease,
eradicates lice, and sometimes in.
vigorates the system. A teaspoon
full OF sulphur, once a week, in the
soft food for twenty hens. is enough,
and it should never be given in
damp weather as it will cause pains
i'll the legs. 1t should not be fed
o chicks in any form until they
are at least, three months old.

Mr., James f.. Nose Of Ashburnham, recently
deceased, has an article in the first number OF

essay on the subject, and with intelligent tea
chcrs, sufficient guide. In closing, he says

SHEEP VS. PIGS IN THE ORCH
ARD.-lt is about time that the
practice of turning pigs into the
orchard was abandoned. Their
services as manure workers are too
valuable to be lost in this way,
and they should be kept in sheds
or Easements on the manure piles,
and supplied with absorbents. If
they are allowed to dig in the soil,
they inlure the roots ofyoung trees
and make the surface rough and
unsightly. A few sheep in the
orchard will keep the weeds down
and eat the fallen fruit and enrich
the soil as well as pigs, and if there
is any danger of their gnawing the
bark. ten cents worth of wire net.
ting will, protect each tree; and it
would cost but little more to put
screen wire around the trees that
would keep off mice as well as
sheep. With the revival of sheep
keeping this is good way for
those who have no other sheep
pasture to start in.

sapplne tho Public Schools.

The legislature OF this State, and III soine de-
gree Of every other State, might put IN good
winters work next year by desoting its atten-
ton to the condition Of the public schools. Con-
sidering the money that is spent on them, our
schools are very far from what they ought to be,
and very far from what the legitimate intention
is to have them. There is altogether too mueh
fine business done in the schools, too much OF
an attempt to rush boys and girls through the
lower grades, too much money spent on the
higher branches, too much Of an effort for sho"
and display without any roga@ to what pr
perly constitutes elementary education.
The young people come out Of the school
with a lot Of limp chatter on branches Of STUDY
which they do not understand and have only
memorized ircompletely, while it Is the eNcep-
ton to the rule where we ind boy or girl VIII
can write well, spell correctly, or be accurate
in those simple problems Of mathematics which
lie At the basis Of true education.
Our public school education is poor smat-
tering Of what the children do not need Ia kno"
and an incomplete skimmug over OF thing
that are essential II the State would wipe OF
half the prescribed course Of studies from on
pnblic schools and give time enough 10 Learn
thoroughly the elementary branches, the system
would be benefited, and the boys and girls o
the State would be given IA much better prep9
ration for success in life than i, now suppae'

A Compliment to the ouakers.

No higher compliment could be paid to the

at the fact that one OF them should be found to
be dishonest. Men of every Other denomina-
ton in the world have been arraigned in the
courts and have gone to prison for almost every
crime on the statute book, and it has generally
been regarded merely as the misfortune OF the
religious body to which he belonged and eyi-
dence of the mans own rank hypocrisy. But
now, for the first time, it is said, in the history
oil the Quakers in this country the treasurer Of
l Quaker meeting has turned defaulter and
everybody is thoroughly surprised. The name
of the dciaulting Quaker is Edward Blackburn
